What would you do?

The school I attend has a very strict attendance policy. Last week, one of my classmates was absent. However, I noticed that his girlfriend signed him in. During class the teacher noticed that he was missing, and his girlfriend stated that he was in the restroom. This was not true, as he was gone the entire day, and I know for a fact that she signed him in.

If this were you, would you inform the dean? I mean it is not fair for one student to get credit, while the rest of us walk on pins and needles hoping we don't ever have a legitimate reason to be gone.

Just from reading this, it looks as if she would come under fire, not him, she signed his name. You can't assume he told her to. He's not there. Girlfriend or not, she's being dishonest.

Nope - I wouldn't tell. Live and let live. If it doesn't threaten safety then I have a hard time with having a negative effect on someone's life. If this is the way they conduct themselves on a regular basis it will catch upp to them eventually.
